I find this unbelievable:

Swimming lessons in some Staffordshire schools should stop during Ramadan to ensure Muslim pupils "do not swallow water", a council has suggested.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council has issued an 11-page Ramadan guide for schools to help pupils who may be fasting when the school year starts in September.

It said swimming was acceptable to Muslims but posed a high risk of swallowing water that may break a fast.

there have been loads of incidents here bobbi...the closure of a council run swimming pool was 1 and it was discovered that the councillors who wanted to close the pool were mates with a certain muslim businessman who owned...yes you guessed it a major swimming pool attraction here...the police were involed but amazingly no 1 was charged with any wrongdoing...mind you a couple of council goons did quit their posts...
no wonder there is so much mistrust stokey x
If muslim parents want to withdraw their kids temporarily for religious reasons that's their choice I suppose.

Why shouldn't the other kids go swimming as planned?
.
Zeuhl we live in a heavily Jewish populated area, and I remember some years ago, our local pool used to close on a Monday Evening for a couple of hours to allow the Jewish ladies to bathe, and the local Tescos used to cordon off about 3 aisles to sell passover and Kosher food, not sure if that happens now but I will say, they are a very peace loving people
Drinking water isn't breaking a fast.
While on the subject of Muslims and their swimming ways, what about this?
